HTTP Status Code Redirect Service

A simple utility service running at status.alexbaron.me that redirects HTTP status code queries to their corresponding MDN documentation pages.

What it does

When you visit a URL like https://status.alexbaron.me/418, the service automatically redirects you to the MDN documentation for HTTP status code 418 (I'm a teapot). This works for any valid HTTP status code.

Why it exists

Looking up HTTP status codes, especially the less common ones, is an annoying part of debugging legacy APIs. This service saves a few seconds by providing a quick, memorable way to jump directly to the official MDN documentation without having to search for it manually, keeping you in the flow.

Usage

Simply append any HTTP status code to the base URL:

https://status.alexbaron.me/{status_code}

Examples

• https://status.alexbaron.me/404 → docs for 404 Not Found
• https://status.alexbaron.me/503 → docs for 503 Service Unavailable
• https://status.alexbaron.me/418 → docs for 418 I'm a teapot

Technical Details

The service is deployed on Cloudflare Workers and performs a simple redirect to the appropriate MDN documentation page based on the status code provided in the URL path.
